Psalms 13

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

In finem, Psalmus David. Usquequo Domine oblivisceris me in finem? Usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

Quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea, dolorem in corde meo per diem?

3 Look, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

4 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

respice, et exaudi me Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in morte:

5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

ne quando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me, exultabunt si motus fuero:

6 I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of the LORD Most High.

ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exultabit cor meum in salutari tuo: cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi: et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.
